Under Arizona's Smart and Safe Act (ARS §36-2852), adults 21+ may cultivate up to 6 marijuana plants per person at their primary residence, with a maximum of 12 plants per household if two or more adults reside there. Plants must be in an enclosed, locked area not visible from public view. Phoenix does not impose additional local restrictions.
Phoenix allows adults 21 and over to grow a limited number of cannabis plants at home under state law. Typically 6 plants per household or fewer depending on local rules. Plants must be in a locked, enclosed area not visible from public spaces. Odor control may be required. Landlords may prohibit growing in rental properties. Local jurisdictions may impose stricter limits than state law. Growing for sale requires a commercial license.
Exceeding plant limits: warning, then fines $100 to $500. Visible grows: citation. Growing for unlicensed sale: criminal charges.
